Lights Camera Action! it’s July 2014 and I trust you are feeling the HEAT and the Commercial Real Estate energy around North Houston and The Woodlands TX.

So let’s just cut to the chase- do YOU like all the action, construction, congestion and more people?… or wish this all could return to the post Y2K small villages in the trees era?

I will now mention Vision- because Vision is responsible for what “it” is today. “It” is the 10 mile radius around The Woodlands proper. “It” makes me seldom leave the “bubble” because we now have everything around here- including a new Nordstroms (ladies beware). ”It” is a safe haven for kids, schools, upbringing and sports- I have 4 little monsters so this is important. “It” was created by visionaries we all know- starting with George Mitchell. Thank you to Howard Hughes, Exxon and the other fine people, schools, churches and companies making The Woodlands home.

So do YOU embrace change or fight it- I guess you could complain a lot – or embrace it- or maybe move away to more country living elsewhere. Everyone has an opinion and they are all good. But lets face it, “IT” is here – the 9,000,000,000 billion pound guerilla has landed, we are officially in the bubble metropolis of competitive gen x’ers and old school’ers, high commerce, fast lifestyle, beeping cars and construction vehicles, overpasses and concrete- lots of concrete.

Vision- what will this place look like in 25 years- and will you embrace it? will you call The Woodlands home?

In all the great ExxonMobil campus, The Woodlands Howard Hughes, Springwoods Village, the new Grand Parkway news here, there is a tale of polarity – good with the bad, success with the growing pains, so take the hot with the cold. Let’s take a look at a few briefly.

Good for Business – Bad for Traffic- need I say more…I think the term “reverse commute” is now obsolete in these parts,

Good for The Woodlands (and all North Houston) Real Estate Equity and Values – Bad for property taxes on such Properties and Bad (maybe) for vacated Exxon buildings in Greenspoint, Fairfax Virginia, Downtown Houston and other locations.

Good for Houston, The Woodlands, Montgomery County, North Harris County, Spring and Conroe Texas etc- Bad for Fairfax and Exxon Mobil employees content “as is”

Good for Grand Parkway and +/-1600 acres Springwoods Village Development adjacent to – Bad for residents (and other business) who want a little peace and quiet in their backyard.

HALBERDIER Real Estate is developing a few commercial real estate projects around the ExxonMobil impact area- visit THE H REAL ESTATE a HALBERDIER Holdings Company for more details – www.theHrealestate.com

Please visit the high energy conference coming soon… www.eocthewoodlands.com – link to Economic Outlook Conference in The Woodlands, South Montgomery County TX.

I look forward to one of the best business events of the year! This is the Superbowl of Conferences up in our neck of The Woods (lands). May we soon call it The Woodlands and The Exxonlands just south of us! As we say in The Woodlands, we are in the bubble (The Woodlands TX) of the bubble (Houston) of the bigger bubble (Texas) – and this city is red hot!

The lineup looks fantastic in just a few short weeks, so come on over and say Hello! HALBERDIER Real Estate is a breakfast sponsor so come early and let’s connect!

U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady, Alex Sutton (The Woodlands Development Company / Howard Hughes), Bruce Tough (running for State Rep 15), Gil Staley (South Montgomery County EDP) ,and other executives with ExxonMobil, Wells Capital, Talisman, Repsol, Layne Christensen, and Chevron Phillips – there will be plently of ”Energy” in the room.

Thanks again for your support with www.theHrealestate.com The H Real Estate a HALBERDIER Holdings company – and I look forward to more Houston and The Woodlands commercial real estate investments, development and advisory interactions with you soon!

Trey Halberdier, founder of The H Real Estate, a Halberdier Holdings Company, was an early adopter of the ExxonMobil mega corporate campus intelligence in 2009 and hedged several future sites for acquisition and hyper appreciation for his companies and investors. Now, a handful of years later, Halberdier and his close allies are executing the game plan as initially planned.

One such prime land tract near Exxon, HALBERDIER Real Estate assembled ownership on, is 40 acres on the southwest corner of Hardy Toll Rd and Riley Fuzzel. This site is approximately 1,000 feet south from the new Grand Parkway intersect and Hardy Toll Rd – and less than a mile from ExxonMobil’s operations. Halberdier and his team plan to commence horizontal ground infrastructure immediately and feel the highest and best use is an industrial office park, a multifamily play and an additional few pad sites off Riley Fuzzel.

Also, The H Real Estate is in active negotiations on another larger multi-million dollar commercial development just around the bend. This future announcement will be another bonus game changer to the area around the ExxonMobil campus, Springwoods Village, and The Woodlands TX areas.

Halberdier’s new investment & development firm’s footprint in Montgomery and North Harris Counties, promises to be impactful and enduring. ‘We believe our core values are consistent with our community – and look forward to decades of impact and service to The Woodlands and surrounding areas’, Trey Halberdier says. ‘This is just the start and we encourage all our sphere of influence to embrace and give back to this awesome community’

HALBERDIER Real Estate plans to scale up the enterprise organically and keep the brand and team streamlined as it grows. Trey Halberdier notes in his exciting 15 years in commercial real estate, 2014 will be the best.

‘We want to develop first class commercial real estate assets, provide for our community and leave a legacy’ says Halberdier. ‘This will be a great ride’

Public Safety – Law enforcement, fire protection and emergency ambulance services are always top priorities for residents and business in our District.

Transportation and Mobility – This vital issue is one of the primary reasons why I entered this race. As our region continues to grow and prosper, and more and more visitors from literally around the world enjoy our community; transportation, mobility, and parking issues will become increasingly critical.

Water – As Texas residents are increasingly aware, water is one of the top issues that face our state. Periodic drought conditions, depletion of both surface and underground water sources, our outlook for continuing population growth with the resulting increase in water demands, and the lack of effective conservation programs all serve to define this issue.

Education – The high-quality education systems that we have in District 15 are vital to the continuing success of our area.

Economic Development – Even during difficult economic periods, our region has continued to prosper. We have added jobs, new businesses continue to move here, homes continue to sell, new homes are being built and sold, new retail outlets continue to open, world-class dining establishments are being added, and much more.

Fiscal Responsibility – I have always been committed to controlled spending, limited government, complete transparency, and that taxes should be kept as low as possible while still providing the high level of services our residents and businesses expect.

Quality of Life – Our region is based on the principle of making this a great place to live, work, and play.

Illegal Immigration – Sadly, the federal government has continually failed at its responsibility to secure our borders. Our immigration system is fundamentally flawed, in part because the laws against illegal immigration often go unenforced.

Right to Life – I am a pro-life conservative and as an officer of the court will defend our state laws protecting the lives of the unborn.

Governance – Because of The Woodlands Township (about half of District 15 population) agreement with the cities of Houston and Conroe (which I was honored to help craft and finalize) that prevents annexation for another forty plus years,

Gun Control - I am a strong believer in the right to bear arms as protected by the 2nd amendment.
